Prescription Verification

Use the exact contact lens prescription for each eye. This guide explains the information to provide, how verification works and what happens if details need clarification.

Check your prescription before choosing contact lenses.

For U.S. customers, a valid contact lens prescription is required for all contact lenses, including colored lenses with no vision correction (0.00/plano). Requirements in other destinations may differ. Use the exact prescribed lens and parameters.

How Prescription Verification Works

These steps explain the information needed to check your lens selection:

Step 01
Place Your Order
Check the exact lens brand and parameters on your current contact lens prescription before placing your order.
Step 02
Provide Prescription
You can provide a copy of your prescription by emailing cs@kpop2.com. Include your order number if you have already ordered. Contact us before checkout if you need help submitting it.
Step 03
Review & Dispatch
Required prescription checks must be completed before shipment. Order preparation and transit times are separate; see Shipping & Delivery for the applicable schedule.

What Information Is Required?

When prescription documentation is requested, it must be clear, unexpired, and issued by a licensed eye care professional (Optometrist or Ophthalmologist). Essential details include:

  • Patient Details: Full name of the person for whom the prescription was written.
  • Eye Care Professional Info: Prescriber's name, clinic name, address, and official contact number/email.
  • Lens Parameters: Exact lens brand or manufacturer, sphere power (PWR/SPH), base curve (BC), diameter (DIA), and cylinder/axis or multifocal add power when prescribed.
  • Validity Dates: Issue date and official expiration date.

Note: Spectacle (eyeglass) prescriptions differ from contact lens prescriptions due to vertex distance. Always ensure you provide a contact lens prescription.

U.S. Customer Verification (FTC & FCLCA Rules)

U.S. orders require a valid prescription, including for non-corrective decorative lenses. The seller must receive a copy or complete verification with the prescriber under the FTC Contact Lens Rule.

Where prescriber verification is used, the eight-business-hour period begins after the prescriber receives a complete request. It is calculated using the prescriber’s business hours and time zone, not as eight elapsed hours. An invalid or expired prescription cannot be filled.

🇺🇸 Notice for U.S. Customers:

Providing a clear copy can help avoid requests for missing information. It does not guarantee immediate dispatch or change the order preparation time.

Official guidance: FDA colored contact lens guidance and FTC Contact Lens Rule.

Prescription Expiration & Medical Disclaimer

Use an unexpired contact lens prescription. In the U.S., prescriptions generally must remain valid for at least one year, with longer periods under some state laws; a documented medical reason can justify a shorter period. Follow the expiry date on your prescription and contact your prescriber for renewal.

Medical Disclaimer: KPOP2 prescription verification is for order accuracy purposes only and does not substitute for a clinical eye examination or professional eye health evaluation.

Prescription Holds & Clarification

An order may be placed on temporary hold if prescription parameters are missing, unclear, expired, or mismatch the ordered lens specifications:

  • Our support team will notify you promptly via email if clarification is required.
  • If your selected lens differs from your prescription, contact your prescriber before changing the product or parameters.
  • If verification cannot be completed, order holds are handled according to our standard cancellation and refund policies.

Contact Lens Hygiene & Care Guidance

Follow the care instructions for your prescribed lens:

  • Always wash and dry hands thoroughly before handling contact lenses.
  • Follow the daily wear time and replacement schedule given by your eye-care professional and the instructions for your exact lens.
  • Never sleep or nap with colored contact lenses in your eyes.
  • Discontinue wear immediately and consult an eye care specialist if you experience redness, pain, or vision changes.
